Arnuwanda II (English spelling)

...Through Suppiluliuma I's foreign policy and foreign campaigns, the territory of the New Kingdom became vast, stretching from Pontus in the north to Lebanon in the south and western Anatolia in the west. Suppiluliuma I's successor, Arnuwanda II, fell ill with plague shortly after ascending to the throne, and his youngest son, Mursili II (reigned c. 1339-c. 1306 BC), took the throne. Mursili tried to put down rebellions that broke out in various places following the deaths of his father and brother, and attacked the westward kingdom of Arzawa, a sworn enemy since the Old Kingdom, for two years, until it surrendered.
